the prime mover in the enterprise; but the
Mormon war of 1878 ruined the company.
The United States authorities refused the
mail transportation to the Mormon company,
and gave their patronage to Ben Holiday and
his partners. Thereafter his rise was rapid and
his success apparently complete. "Ben Holli-
DAVIS overland stages" and "Ben Holidays
line of steamers" from Portland, Ore, to San
Francisco, were titles of note in those days.
He was looked upon as the "Jay Gould of the
plains"-a great organizer of transportation
facilities. His wealth was popularity esti-
mated at several millions. He established a
sort of social and political headquarters at
Washington to look after his various schemes,
to which the government was a party, in the
line of subsidies for mail transportation.
There one of his daughters married the Count
de Pourtales Of the French American legation,
a scion of one of the oldest noble families in
France. The other married the Baron de
Bussiere son of the wealthy banker, Bussiere,
81 Paris. While in this condition Holiday
also bought the noted Ophir farm, near White
Plains, and began the erection of an
immense castle, which was to cost over
$1,0OO,0O0.
Then dark days came. The history of his
losses is but imperfectly known, but as he
was ueepiy lnVOlVeu Ill ule railroads OF the
far northwest in 1878 the causes of his losses
may easily be surmised. Family troubles
also weighed upon him. The Countess Pour
tales died suddenly while on journey, and
was buried in the chapel on "Ophir farm"
Her mother was SO affected by this death that
she soon followed, and not long after tho
Baroness de BusSiere died in New York city
and was laid by her sister and mother Young
Ben Holiday has since died and been laid to
rest with them, but not till the property had
passed to other hands. 1t is stated that of all
the great enterpriser's property none re-
manned except his claim against the govern
ment, which is still unsettled.
In 1866 he first presented the claim, for
over $500 000-bis losses by reason of the de-
struction of his southern or Texas and Cali
fornia line at the beginning Of the war and
sums alleged to be due him on mail transpor-
tation and other services After much lobby
ing the committee on claims recommended n
bill to pay him 1926, 739 but congress failed
to pass it, In 1880 the committee recon-.
mended 1921 l54, and the senate reduced it to
100000, but even the bill for that amount
failed to pass. 1t has now been lobbed for
and discussed in committee for ten years, and
no allowance made. Whether hope deferred
made his heart sick unto death we can only
onjecture.

conjecture.


Meanwhile "Ophir farm and its castle
have passed through equally tedious litigation.
Mr., Holiday had decided it to his wife i,
1871, with the understanding that she was to
make will giving it to him in case of her
dying first. This gave rise to suit. which
the surrogate decided in his favor. and he
then mortgaged the property to the Mutual
Life Insurance company of New York. Her
helrs contested the matter in the courts, but
the insurance company won and have sold
the place to Garrett Roach, son of the famous
shipbuider. John Roach had for a time
some interest in it and was nroceeding to
finish the castle when bankruptcy and death
ended the project. Now the estate is about
to change owners once more. The farm in.
Guides about 700 acres, lying across the sum-
init between Long Island sound and the
western plains of Westchester county: and
from the windows of the castle, or mansion
one has magnificent view of the sound and

the main section three stories high. The
general outer aspect is rugged, but within the
house is very beautifully furnished in various
nard woods. AT convenient distance stands
the beautiful white stone chapel in which
Mrs. Holiday worshiped she being a Cath
olc), and in the vaults of which she and her
son and her two daughters lie buried. Per-
haps no clearer exploitation of her views as to
the noble family alliances could be given than
the clause in her will which expressly ex-
cludes from any and all benefits of its pro
visions any of her descendants who sboud
marry foreigner. D. H BEANIE
